While looking for something sweet to make, I found a recipe in one of my old cookbooks I bought when I first started going gluten-free. I use this book so rarely since it only covers one of my allergies and finding substitutes for some ingredients are a pain. In this book, there was a simple recipe… Continue reading Allergy-Friendly Testing: Doughnut Holes→

There is one vegetable that is abundant inside my refrigerator that I had little recipes to deal with: onions. I've had onions sitting in my fridge since nearly day one of living where I am now. And after I got a cannister of bread crumbs, I had the sudden idea of finally using some of… Continue reading Gluten Free Curiosity: Onion Rings→

You know what I miss the most about McDonald's? Their chicken nuggets. I was a person who didn't care about the Big Macs, the McFlurries, or even the McCafe. It was always the McNuggets and fries. And, of course, I had to give those up when I developed the wheat allergy. In fact, I had… Continue reading Gluten Free Curiosity: Chicken Nuggets→

Okay, so another family favorite that I grew up with before the allergies were burritos. And anyone who goes looking around a gluten-free section will quickly find that Mexican food is not going to be anywhere near it.

But, since most store-manufactured cakes are made with wheat flour, that has presented a problem for me.… Continue reading Gluten Free Curiosity: Birthday Special Part One→

One of the few pasta dishes that I like is the infamous dish known as mac n' cheese. It's one of the staple dishes I used to have when life made it difficult to cook big meals. But, after developing a wheat allergy, I had to give it up. But I found gluten-free macaroni pasta,… Continue reading Gluten Free Curiosity: Mac n’ Cheese→

Being gluten free means that pasta dishes are pretty much nixed, since all the noodles are made using wheat flour. Which, for me, wasn't that big of a loss since I'm not much of a noodle fan. But some favorites, like spaghetti, were a favorite in the family that I missed being able to eat.… Continue reading Gluten Free Curiosity: Spaghetti→

Somehow, I don't know how it happened, I developed a wheat allergy. It is not pleasant for me to have, because so many foods in this world have wheat AKA gluten inside of it. I can't have pastas, pastries, bread, soups, chowders, sauces, etc. There's an entire list of things that I can no longer… Continue reading Gluten-Free Curiosity→
